Foundation Scotland's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Foundation Scotland reported carbon emissions of approximately 60,170 kg CO2e, all of which were classified under Scope 3 emissions. This marked a significant increase from the previous year, 2022, when emissions were about 19,340 kg CO2e. In 2024, emissions decreased to approximately 29,950 kg CO2e, indicating a positive trend towards reduction. Foundation Scotland has not disclosed any Scope 1 or Scope 2 emissions, as these were reported as zero across the years. Despite the fluctuations in Scope 3 emissions, there are currently no specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. The organisation's focus appears to be on understanding and managing its indirect emissions, which are critical for comprehensive climate action. Overall, while Foundation Scotland has made strides in tracking its carbon footprint, further commitments and reduction strategies would enhance its climate resilience and sustainability efforts.
